Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) Request for Quote (RFQ) for additional Financial Consultant Support on contract OPIC-16-C-0038

I. Description / Purpose:

1. This is a Request for Proposal (RFQ) for additional financial consultant support on contract OPIC-16-C-0038. The Contracting Officer intends to award a sole source contract modification to Near Northeast to expand the scope of the contract to allow OPIC to task Near Northeast to provide support on power sector transactions outside of sub-Saharan Africa and non-power sector transactions inside sub-Saharan Africa. Currently, the contract only allows Near Northeast to provide support to transactions in the power sector inside sub-Saharan Africa. OPIC has an immediate need to obtain support for the expanded scope which can begin work without requiring additional training or a lengthy familiarization period. Near Northeast shall submit a cost proposal that indicates the amount of additional support (in working days, as defined according to current contract terms) it will be able to provide to support the additional requirements at a price of $504,792.93.

II. Proposal Submission Instructions:

The proposal shall only be submitted via e-mail to the Contracting Officer, George Sullivan (hereafter, Mr. Sullivan), at George.sullivan@opic.gov. If Near Northeast believes it will need more time to prepare a quote, then Near Northeast shall request in writing via e-mail to Mr. Sullivan a submission deadline extension request no later than 5:00pm EST, 2 March 2017. The quote shall be in compliance with the requirements detailed in Section III below. Failure to submit a compliant quote will result in the Government deeming the submitted quote as non-responsive and requesting a resubmission.

2. Effective upon release of this RFQ, Mr. Sullivan is the sole point of contact for this contract action. All communications related to this contract action between the Government and Near Northeast must be routed through Mr. Sullivan and he will send it further to the relevant Government or RSR POC as necessary, regardless of either the communication’s point of origin or priority level. All questions or concerns related to this contract action must be addressed to him via e-mail. He will respond to them in the order they are received unless priority level dictates otherwise.
